I lost my twrp recovery - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I just updated to 10.3 on my 7 pro plus. I know I really don't need twrp I do have the stock recovery but I like twrp. If I go thru the adb route, booting into twrp img and installing twrp zip, will it install into both slots? And will I lose root? Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure on the answer to your question but I used this guide to update and I didn't lose twrp.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/guide-bootloader-unlock-twrp-install-t3940368

Boot img, flash zip, flash magisk. Should give you twrp and keep root.

Thanks all. I just bit the bullet and tried flashing twrp.img from the twrp site to install the twrp.zip but the screen just stayed on fastboot so I rebooted into normal then attempted again with mauronofrio img and zips. ( Then I had to Magisk after I rebooted recovery.) It's all good. I hope this helps someone else as well.

I need Help with Rooting OP6 stable not beta 9.0.2, bootloader is unlocked

So, i have used my whole saturday on unlocking the booloader which was the easiest and quickest and then trying to root, but that has failed every time. I first flashed the stock firmware zip 9.0.2 then I go back I dont reboot and flash the twrp and magisk zip and then it wont boot up,
when I try rebooting after flashing the firmware back to the system it sends me to the firmware,
when I try flashing a new firmware and then boot into fastboot then twrp and flash magisk it wont boot up,
and when I do the same only with twrp it wont neither.
I have tried sevel magisk versions, 17.1,17.2,17.3 none of them worked
as for the twrp blu spark or the one from the twrp website, i was always able to boot into twrp but not really to flash it as that would end in a twrp loop
can PLEASE anyone, someone, with a good heart and patience help me ? im really loosing my ****s over this
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Try booting into blu_spark twrp
Installing blu_spark twrp
Rebooting to blu_spark twrp
Install magisk 17.3 or 17.1 (I am using 17.3 because it it beta but less stable.)

The normal twrp is known to be buggy on the OnePlus 6 since there was encryption and stuff. Here is the blu_spark twrp IMG to boot:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=30485
And here you need to flash the blu_spark twrp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=30484
Flash that then reboot into recovery again
Then flash magisk
If this doesn't work for you I think there is another way.

You might be on the wrong slot. DO you even have a system to boot to? Not sure why you even tyred flashing the 9.0.2 ROM. If I was you I would start over. Use the fastboot ROM to get a clean wiped system booting. After that
fastboot boot bluespark twrp v86. Img
Flash bluespark twrp v86. Zip
Reboot revovery
Flash magisk 17.1

I flashed the rom because my phone didn't boot up anymore after either flashing TWRP or magisk.
Why should I use the fastboot room, what is the benefit if I use it.
Is the reboot to recovery necessary ? I feel like that part is actually not working properly ?

Yes the reboot to recovery is the most nessesary part of it as it will change slots.
You can try boot to recovery
Flash oos full rom
Flash bluespark twrp. Zip
Reboot recovery
Flash full ROM again
Flash bluespark twrp. Zip again.
Reboot recovery
Flash magisk.

Can you explain how to properly boot back into recovery?
Previously I either just went on the back button and flashed the other Zip's or I went back to the reboot overview and pressed recovery there but that also did not seem to work properly I think.

TWRP and Magisk help please!

I've been away for about a year so I'm behind on everything right now. I just flashed a factory image to get back to Android 8.1 and set my phone up from scratch. I would like to install TWRP and Magisk but have some questions..
TWRP. Do I just find the latest TWRP for this phone and the process is the same as before? Fastboot flash twrp img and then install TWRP zip?
Magisk: I have never used it before so I'm not to familiar at all. From what I can tell I just download the zip and install via twrp? Is there a specific version I should be looking for for the Pixel on 8.1 or will the latest from the Magisk forum work?
I've searched around and keep seeing random issues so I'm wondering if it's as straight forward as mentioned above. I see posts about people trying to install TWRP and Magisk and bootlooping and stuff like that. Thanks!!
Hello look here for the latest Recovery. https://twrp.me/google/googlepixel.html
Flash the TWRP image over the PC.
fastboot boot recovery TWRP.img
Then Flash it via TWRP. (the zip file on your sdcard).
The device has an A and B Partition. It would Flash on both.
If you Flash an custom Rom you Flash it on A Partition you must Flash TWRP.zip again. Reboot the device. After an reboot to Recovery you on B Partition automatically. Here you can Flash Magisk and other zips like custom Kernel or other.
If you Flash the custom Rom on B Partition you must flash magisk and other stuff on A Partition.
With Magisk 18.0 stable, some people have bootloops when flashing TWRP.
Best thing to do is just boot TWRP img when needed instead of flash the zip, maybe this has been fixed with latest canary builds but it's better boot the image just to be sure

TWRP gone after Magisk update

Hey everyone,
My TWRP has been erased from the phone and all I did was update magisk to the latest version (v 20). I'm on Android Pie, why did that happen? I can boot the phone and everything looks fine, it's just that TWRP is gone.
Should I just install it again ? Will I lose data if I install latest TWRP ?
THanks
Hmm.. i dont know what's happened to yours.. but i also updated my magisk to v20. And all.is well.. when i checked thru it a while ago... I can still boot to twrp..
Are you using the v70 twrp?? Try flashing it again via magisk.. be sure to flash magisk.again after that.. ??

No, I was using an old version of TWRP, don't remember what it was exactly, but it wasn't the latest one for sure.
What would be the correct steps to flash TWRP and Magisk so my phone boots up and I don't lose data?
Boot to twrp using fastboot then install twrp and magisk then proceed to reboot to system

looks like there is an issue with the latest magisk update. We'll have to wait for an update to the magisk or twrp so TWRP can stick
To fix it i booted into twrp then installed the last rom i was using (pie) then flashed twrp.zip, rebooted into recovery then installed magisk 19.4. you'll have to re-install your modules and re enable your apps that used root.
so since I'm using PIE 9.5.13. Just install the full zip of 9.5.13 through local storage > And then flash twrp and then magisk through twrp? Will there be data loss?
I got twrp back, in magisk by install twrp.
magic download I run flash the twrp and recovery is back
there was no any data loss in my case
For those have the same issue, here is the solution without flashing a new ROM.
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/1920
from bootloader mode execute
fastboot flash boot boot.img (the stock boot.img)
boot twrp image (I used .70 unified)
fastboot boot twrp.img
flash twrp-installer.zip
flash magisk.zip (I flashed 19.4)
Enjoyyyyy
PS: you can get your corresponding stock boot.img from

Thank you.....
New to the OP7 Pro and this post saved me... I got my device last week and Magisk v20 was current and removed TWRP.... There is a Magisk 21 update is that safe or just say right here?

I ****ed up, can only boot to TWRP

So yea I tried to follow this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-flash-twrp-root-t3954559/page11#post80840591
And I kinda messed up. The main mistake that I think I did was I used "Install Recovery Ramdisk" and selected the TWRP.img
Can anyone help? Can I undo that?
twrp is supposed to be done like that should flash magisk after and it will boot always flash magisk after twrp or it wont boot after magisk you flash kernel
Flash OOS through Fastboot
you should be able to either flash the TWRP installer zip or flash your current OS in TWRP.
Thanks everyone, everything's working now

How to get into twrp / reinstall neccessary?

Hello,
i have a question about getting into Recovery or maybe i have to install it again?
So i installed twrp following this guide
Install LineageOS on walleye | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
At first i installed the Lineage OS recovery but wasnt able to flash a ROM with that so i switched and installed twrp.
It was installed to slot A.
I then went ahead and installed an ASOP ROM.
Now the ROM is working fine and i wanted to go into TWRP and do a Backup.
However i cant get into TWRP. Not with key combos nor with adb reboot recovery.
All i get is the fallen Android Robot picture.
I guess i wrote the image to Slot A as well and now have no recovery left.
Do i have to flash TWRP again and this time to Slot B?
I dont wanna brick anything by accident as i have seen some posts where people switched Slots and got bricks / semi bricks.
Thanks for any help or clarification.
Kind Regards
Hello mate, i never reinstalled twrp on my pixel 2 after catching a bootloop after installing it and then flashing magisk so stuck with using fastboot to fastboot boot twrp when I wanted to flash a ROM/mod.
Sounds strange that twrp was only on 1 slot as the twrp installer zip should flash both slots when flashed?
With regard to losing twrp you'll probably find that the new ROMs recovery has overwritten your twrp recovery during the flashing process giving you a stock recovery again (Fallen android). When I was using a 6T which is an A/B slot device you always had to reflash the twrp installer after a ROM flash to keep twrp installed.
I'd check the official twrp thread re backing up with twrp as it did have problems either backing up or restoring last I used it.
Hope that's some help.
